The news of Xie Cheng's death soon spread throughout Ningzhou.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little sad.

Especially the Qian family. Qian Benren was very happy at first, but when he learned about Xie Cheng's life and death, he was stunned for a second, and then he couldn't express the sadness in his heart.

A big family just disappeared.

People like Xie Cheng died in such an ignominy way.

The key is that we still can't find the person behind it.

The more I think about it, the more panic I feel. If that person is dealing with someone else, or the Qian family.

Does the Qian family have the power to fight back?

Qian Benren felt a chill running down his spine, not at all.

He had to admit that Xie Cheng was a good young man, yet he was so tricked that he had no power to fight back.

His Qian family is not much more powerful than the Xie family.

Qian Benren was a little restless, and after thinking about it, he went to Mrs. Qian and asked her to meet Qian Jiaojiao.

Now only the regent can protect the Qian family.

When Qi Yuanmin learned that Xie Cheng was dead, his hands and feet were paralyzed with fear.

He knew clearly that the cause of Xie Cheng's death was probably related to the real regent.

Then if he uses the reputation of the regent to make money, he will not die in a worse way.

Qi Yuanming was already eager to leave.

He went to see Cheng and said he was getting ready to leave.

Mrs. Cheng was happy for a while, then she thought of Qian Jiaojiao and the child in her belly, and she looked hesitant: "But what about the woman and the child?"

"We can't take her with us."

Regardless of whether Qian Jiaojiao can be taken away, even Qian Jiaojiao himself would not be willing to leave with Qi Yuanming.

She only fell in love with Qi Yuanming because of his identity. If she knew Qi Yuanming's identity, she would probably want to kill him immediately. How could she leave him and live in those poor days.

Qi Yuanming was also a little hesitant. He had no heirs of his own. This was his first child, so naturally he couldn't let it go.

He sighed softly: "I'll ask her. If she doesn't want to, we can leave alone."

"It was just the two of us who came to Ningzhou, and it's only right that we leave together when we leave."

Cheng was naturally happy to finally leave here, but she also had some doubts in her heart as to why Qi Yuanming became anxious all of a sudden.

Mrs. Qian visited Qian Jiaojiao during the day and told her everything about the Qian family.

Qian Jiaojiao leaned on the imperial concubine's couch with a bit of disdain on her face: "If he thanks the family for anything, it will be gone if it is gone."

"Mom, don't worry, I have the prince's child in my belly now."

"Who would be so short-sighted?"

"You go back and tell dad to reassure him that the prince can pamper me now."

After saying that, Qian Jiaojiao yawned, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist: "Mom, I'm sleepy."

"Just tell dad to feel at ease."

"If the prince comes here tonight, I will have a good talk with him."

Mrs. Qian left after getting the assurance.

Qi Yuanming went to see Qian Jiaojiao in the evening. He thought for a long time before deciding that he must not confess directly.

He had to test Qian Jiaojiao first. If Qian Jiaojiao was willing to go with him, he would tell her later. If not, he would have no choice but to leave her behind.

Qian Jiaojiao was waiting for Qi Yuanming to come over in the yard. Qi Yuanming would come to her place to rest these nights.

Qi Yuan came to see her during the day. The implication was that she was pregnant now, and Qi Yuan was willing to help her share the burden. The obvious meaning was to let Qian Jiaojiao push Qi Yuanming to her.

Qian Jiaojiao sneered, looking at Qi Yuan with contempt.

No matter if she was pregnant, she could still serve the prince.

She has many means to make the prince fall in love with her.

As soon as it got dark, Qi Yuanming came to Qian Jiaojiao.

Qian Jiaojiao had prepared the meal a long time ago. After the two of them had finished drinking and eating, Qi Yuanming remembered the purpose of his visit today.

He held Qian Jiaojiao in his arms: "Jiaojiao, you are pregnant with my child. This is a big project. If I want to leave Ningzhou, will you go with me?"

Qian Jiaojiao felt a little excited. Was he going to take her back to the capital?

She immediately responded: "Jiaojiao belongs to the prince."

"Naturally, wherever the prince goes, Jiaojiao will go."

Qi Yuanmin felt warm in his heart and spoke much softer: "Jiaojiao, if I were not the regent, would you be willing to follow me?"

Qian Jiaojiao paused, then with a smile on his face: "If you are not the prince, then who is."

"Jiaojiao is only willing to follow a big shot like you, the prince."

The smile that had just appeared on Qi Yuanming's face disappeared instantly, and his eyes darkened.

It seems that this child has no chance with him.

Qi Yuanming then found an excuse to leave. No matter how Qian Jiaojiao tried to persuade him to stay, he did not stay.

Qian Jiaojiao stamped her feet angrily: "Humph, it's that bitch again."

She felt that Mrs. Cheng had seduced Qi Yuanming away, and then Qian Jiaojiao reflected on what Qi Yuanming had just asked her on the couch.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Qian Jiaojiao felt a little annoyed that she shouldn't have said that at the time.

Men basically like women just for who they are.

When she said that just now, would the prince think that she was a woman who was greedy for power?

Qian Jiaojiao was a little annoyed, thinking that she would find a chance to make amends tomorrow.

When Qi Yuanming returned to Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng raised her eyes and looked at him: "How is it?"

Qi Yuanming shook his head: "Let's leave in a few days."

Cheng was stunned for a moment, unable to tell whether she was happy or unhappy.

Qian Jiaojiao originally didn't want to go with Qi Yuanming, so she should be happy that she would still be the only one around Qi Yuanming.

But she thought of the child in Qian Jiaojiao's belly.

Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but be stunned. Even if they left Ningzhou, could they go back to the past?

Qi Yuanming didn't notice Cheng's little mood at all, but continued: "You clean up well, we will leave immediately in the next few days."

Cheng responded softly.

The Xie family's incident made everyone panic, and Zheng Xu and Zheng Yan were also released.

After learning about the Xie family, both of them were a little shocked.

The head of the Zheng family seemed to have aged many years for a moment. He looked at his children and sighed: "Now that the storm is coming, our regent has not curried favor."

"I don't want anything else now. I just want to use up all my wealth to keep the Zheng family from being like the Xie family."

"Enjoy the rest of your days."

Not only the Zheng family thinks this way, but other families also think so.

Qi Hengzhi sent Cheng's portrait and was waiting for news from the capital.

Zhou Jingxuan was very busy during this period. He was trying to figure out who the people behind the famous family in Jiangbei were.

But I didn't have any clue, that person was really hiding it very well.

Jiang Si suddenly thought of the underground city in Ningzhou. Maybe there would be some clues there and asked Zhou Jingxuan to start there.

Ten days later, Qi Hengzhi finally received a reply from the capital.

He squeezed the letter in his hand tightly with anger on his face, and said with a bit of cruelty, "How dare you lie to me!"
